Official News: Alpha Insights is now Live (and why I built it for you)

As I sit in the darkness of my home office, typing this email up for tomorrow morning (currently 3.28am), an odd mix of emotions starts to well up from within me.

Excitement?
Of course! I can't wait to show everyone the beauty of Alpha Insights, the benefits that they may enjoy.

Relief? Proud? Happy? Yes. Yes. It's been a hell of a journey to-date. As much as this moment might be a starting line to most, it is much more of a huge finishing line for me as well.

Not to say, that this is my stop. But partly, yes. This is a stop where a part of me gets off.

The part that, not too long ago, was searching for direction and purpose. The part that discovered strength through personal family health challenges and emerged with a clarity of mission I never expected.

You know what? This wasn't meant to be so reflective - this was supposed to be a straightforward launch announcement!

Yet here I am at 3.28am, realising that Alpha Insights represents something bigger than I initially imagined. It's proof that sometimes the most meaningful ventures come from unexpected places.

Funny story. Alpha Insights was never meant to be about Artificial Intelligence. Alpha Insights was not supposed to be a one-man operation.

What was it supposed to be? Well, I guess it doesn't really matter. This is exactly what Alpha Insights needed to become.

Ironically, the only certainty in life is that it's full of uncertainties - and sometimes those uncertainties lead us exactly where we need to be.

P.S. Whole website has been refreshed, navigation links should be working properly now across the website, and my emails. Tried my hand at designing the Home Page and Pricing page, let me know if you have any opinion on them!

More importantly,

Welcome to Alpha Insights!

What is Alpha Insights?

We deliver institutional-grade equity research at 99% less than what institutions pay. Every company gets 70+ pages of analysis – the same depth Goldman Sachs provides their clients, but at $300/year instead of $30,000+.

No tips.

No recommendations.

Just pure, comprehensive analysis so you can make your own informed decisions.

How much does it cost?

Foundation Membership: $300/year (lowest price, life-time guarantee)

Approximately ~350 spots remaining. Once those are gone, membership prices will start from $400+. All inclusive.

No hidden fees.

No upsells.

Just pure research.

Why Deep Research Actually Protects Your Wealth

Here's what I've learned from watching retail investors over the years: The most expensive mistakes aren't the stocks you don't buy – but the good stocks you sell at the wrong time.

Think about it:

• When COVID hit, how many sold CSL at $250 only to watch it hit $320?
• When interest rates spiked, how many dumped REA Group at $110 before it rallied to $180?
• When Amazon entered Australia, how many panic-sold JB Hi-Fi at $20, missing the run to $60?

These weren't bad companies....

They were good companies going through temporary setbacks.

But without deep research, all you had were scary headlines:

• "Pandemic destroys biotech valuations"
• "Rising rates will crush property platforms"
• "Amazon will kill Australian retail"

Our 70+ pages of analysis gives you what headlines don't:

• Balance sheet strength – Can they survive the storm?
• Competitive moats – What protects their market position?
• Management quality – Have they navigated crises before?
• Intrinsic value – What's the business actually worth?
• Multiple scenarios – Best case, base case, worst case, all modeled out.
• Facts. Not emotionally-charged headlines.

When you understand a business at this depth, short-term volatility becomes opportunity, not panic. You know whether that 20% drop is a buying opportunity or a warning sign. You have conviction based on facts, not hopes and prayer.

The way I see it, the Mathematics are simple:

• Cost of high-quality, institutional-grade research? $300/year
• Cost of panic-selling one winner too early? $10,000-50,000+

One emotional decision wipes out decades of research costs. But with 70+ pages of institutional-grade analysis, you're not making emotional decisions anymore.

You're making informed ones.

The Bottom Line:

We read 500+ pages of filings, transcripts, and reports so you get the 6-7 pages that matter, backed by 70+ pages of supporting analysis. Same depth as afforded to Bloomberg Terminal users, at a fractional. One. Percent. of the cost.

And unlike other services, we have zero conflicts. We don't trade. We don't manage funds. We don't have positions to push. Just pure, unbiased research.

What does the future hold for Alpha Insights?

Alpha Insights aims to not just be an equity research/insights provider. As I've mentioned above, 20% comes down to stock selection, and 80% is portfolio management. Therefore, plans around providing a more holistic offering for investors are in the works. This has not yet been conceptualised yet, whether it is in the form of a model portfolio, or largely still discretionary, but with clearer guidance from top to bottom. This, I believe, is something I can deliver on my own.

Of course, there is much more that I wish to accomplish with Alpha Insights.

Extending the coverage universe beyond just the ASX - let's go global,
or doing a micro-cap/mining exploration focused offering,
or providing a platform with better features, vs what ive scrapped together.

Conclusion

Thank you to everyone who helped me get here – and those reading this whohave provided me guidance along the way. You know who you are. And a special shoutout to my dad, for believing in me since Day 1.

P.S. Foundation spots are genuinely limited. This isn't marketing fluff – it is just my way of showing gratitude to early adopters of Alpha Insights. That is, a promise of a lifetime guarantee that these members will always receive the lowest pricing for Alpha Insights products. I chose the number of spots for this offer, based on just under the number of current free subscribers. Once these ~350 spots are gone, there will never be a better pricing, relative to what foundation members receive.

Lastly, recent reports like Carsales (ASX:CAR), Iress (ASX:IRE), Nick Scali (ASX:NCK), JB Hifi (ASX:JBH), and Resmed Inc. (ASX:RMD) are still available to the public.

And by the afternoon, Block Inc (XYZ) and Avita (AVH) will be completed.

By tonight, Life360, Seven Group Holdings (and media), AGL energy, Commonwealth Bank, Evolution Mining, Tresury Wines Estate, among many others, should be uploaded.

These reports, will be sitting behind the paywall shortly (tonight/tomorrow). Additionally, my recent dive in to the market, would be reserved for members as well.

Let's make better investment decisions together.

Best,
Ryan Lim
